Lesson 312: Our Dreams Are a State of Consciousness...

“Our dreams are a state of consciousness beyond the consciousness that we are able to hold in waking life. In other words, we are more conscious, we are more in the realm of soul, when we are in our dreams then when we are awake.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about what our dreams are telling us about our souls. What messages are you drawing from your dreams. If you aren’t sure, close your eyes now and be informed.

I get the indication that I’m being told to stop worrying about my job situation and just life in general. I think if I can stick with a positive attitude and have good intentions in my life, then it will work out. There’s nothing that I can do but be my best self. It’s about bringing about the inner self through to the outer self.

I think there is so much work to be done for my spiritual path and I am being shown to continue in my studying so that I become as knowledgeable as I can be. The answers that I seek are within the books that I am going to read.

I feel like there is a kind soul that I need to reach and this is why I do this course and another one on clearing. I think whatever emotions I’ve developed based on the situations I’ve experienced in my life were supposed to happen to build me into the person I am today. It’s about opening my heart more so that I can shine the light out for others to learn from. All in due time. There is no rush in knowing everything right now.

Day 312 - A Year to Clear - Dissolve Them

Lesson 312: Dissolve Them

“HOW TO DISSOLVE SELF-CRITICAL THOUGHTS:

Notice them
Observe them
Don’t react on them
The thoughts will scream at you for attention, hug them
Observe them
Love them
Dissolve them
This makes echoes of them”

— Martin Soulreader

Today we are introduced to the writings of Martin Soulreader. The idea is to learn from it in order to expand ourselves to forgive.

I think the whole thing is really important. I think what I need to learn is to not over react to things. I think I notice my emotions after the fact, I let them come to me and pass, before acknowledging and letting go. This lesson is teaching us to expand our hearts whilst giving tools on how to control our reaction to things. I believe it’s about taking a step back and being the observer in your life, even though it’s happening directly to you.

I guess I don’t really want to say much but just absorb this lesson.

Lesson 311: There is Always Another Desire...

There is always something.. another desire, another distraction, another thing to manifest. What would happen if we detached from having to control situations or attract things into our lives. What if we just surrendered to what the Divine gives us without having to ask for it at all? This creates space and allows us to be open. This essentially creates freedom. Today we are to forget what we are trying to create. We are to ask ourselves “what would you enjoy the most?” in the next hour and next few hours or even later today.

My Wednesday consisted of working a half day and having lunch with a friend, picking up mail, buying some earrings for myself and a friend, buying a spray to curb my cat’s anxiety, having a nap and then going to a movie with another friend. This all occurred before reading the lesson of the day. I wasn’t in a mood for creating. I definitely just let the day go on.  What it actually manifested was me walking past a place called “the music gym” which offers guitar, piano and singing lessons. I’ve been wanting to take singing lessons for some time and this place is right near my home. I felt like everything I did, whilst surrendering, led me to walk past this shop. I was just wanting to have a relaxed day with no pressure and something appeared on my path that I didn’t expect.

I think sometimes when you aren’t really thinking about something, but it’s been lingering in the back of your mind, the Universe just somehow manifests it for you. There’s a unique beauty in that.

What did you create without actually manifesting it?

Day 311 - A Year to Clear - Forgiving is Clearing

Lesson 311: Forgiving is Clearing

“Every lesson in this course has been building your heart muscle. Slow drip practices in letting go and self-care is a form of forgiveness.
Every time you courageously face your fears, allow yourself to be vulnerable, or feel whatever you are feeling without judging it as good or bad, you are forgiving.

This is powerful stuff.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Today we are to think about forgiving a situation or a person. We all have this power to forgive yes. But definitely in our own time.

I am going to forgive the situation in regards to my redundancy at work. There is all this anger around it and morale is low. I know I had to ride the waves of emotion that I was going through but there is no point holding onto it. I am going to accept that it’s part of the business, that it was outside of my control and that in order to move forward, I just need to keep a positive attitude and do everything in my power to land myself another role. I closed my eyes and just meditated for a moment. What I visualised was myself being bright and that a light is being shone on me, so that I’m noticeable when it comes to interviews. I forgive the situation and accept that it is what it is. I truly have no control over it and can only place myself in a good space moving forward. There is no point being angry anymore – it really doesn’t help in any way. It’s time to be my best for myself and to shine a path for others. It’s time to keep shining my light.

Day 310 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - We Think We Are Only Creating...

Lesson 310: We Think We Are Only Creating...

… when we are awake in the world. We can also create and manifest during our dreaming time. Today we are to think about what we dreamed of last night. If you can’t remember then close your eyes now and see what dream fills your mind.

Now I don’t remember what I dreamed of last night but I closed my eyes and just let what came. What I saw was that I was dancing around with a flower crown on my head in a field. Then the imagery changed to me doing ritual with a group out in some park or forest. There were trees in the background but I felt very comfortable in myself and where I was. What I really sensed was the feeling of freedom. The freedom was something I yearn for but don’t feel I have myself yet. The freedom I want is to be comfortable in showing who I am to the world as a witch. That people can be open to other forms of spirituality that isn’t a religion. That people are willing to be more open minded to who I am. I am putting myself out there more and more. I wear my crystals, Celtic rings and pentacle out and about now. I am creating my own way. I think it will become more acceptable. Maybe I just got to lead it for myself and for others.

What are some of your dreams?
